I thought the edit was overall quite good - though I did struggle to keep watching through some of the middle scenes. My one disappointment was with the ending, where it doesn't do enough to underline that Anakin/Vader killed Padmé to stay alive himself.

I am not certain that using upsetting language is acceptable just because of any given privilege. That is kind of the point about privilege. You are in the privileged position of not being upset by it. Plenty of UK folks I know would be annoyed by using the word. Now I know it's...

Eh. I vaguely know one of the other top 100 finalists, who hasn't paid a penny to be there. It's an incredibly fun thought experiment, really.

Dammit CrystalShadow, I was about to post the same thing!

The panel was on 'strong female characters'. I am not certain it is fair to criticise the panelists for discussing them. You might criticise the reasons for having a panel on 'strong female characters', but I'd not be surprised if it wasn't because the term is already well used. The fact that...

You appear to have missed 'Birthright: The Gorgon's Alliance', which was fun and engaging enough for me at 13, even if the wiki article says it was pretty shoddy.

Those are not the right words. The nicest way to put it would've been not to say anything, and keep it to yourself.

No sign of Black Widow or Scarlet Witch on that poster :(

For all the people who can't see the point in this, who think it's attention grabbing, who are confused about why bothering: from my perspective as a member of the LGBT community, and with lots of geeky friends who are LGBT, I can't understate how important a step this is for many of us. If it...

I'd like to address the opening paragraph that attempts to set the scene for this article. "A lot has been stirred up recently about gender roles and their place in modern society. Clearly this article has been deemed THE most important soap box to speak about such matters...why else would...

I thought it was a shame in the GotG bit, that MovieBob basically dismissed how kick-ass Gamora looked by instead just describing her as 'hot'. Oh well :(

I have never heard any of the many feminists I've spoken to ever speak of the Bechdel test as anything other than the way MovieBob does: that it's interesting at demonstrating the wider cultural issues of implicit sexism, but totally not a judge of a movie's quality (eg, The Human Centipede also...

I think the crash in the games industry is just a single part of a wider issue: the economic downturn from 2008 (almost 5 years now) isn't going back up. More and more belt-tightening, as prices for basics like food, housing, electricity, oil all go up. There is less money in the industry. There...

I am not certain why the waterfall got quieter at night.

It is one specialisation of nine in a game that scarely mentions the distinctions between classes as is. Writing in different dialogue - especially such intimately game-changing dialogue as you would need if you were a blood mage - would be far too much work. And to be honest, Dragon Age 2, even...
